For a Riena-based application to compile, a certain set of bundles (plug-ins) must be available at compile time. This set of bundles is known as a target platform. Follow the steps outlined in either of the following two sections to set up the target platform for Riena applications (based on Riena 4.0.0). Windows users can just download the complete targetplatform, unzip it and activate it under Window => Preferences => Plugin Development => Target Platform.

Set up target platform for Riena on RAP apps

For a Riena on RAP-based application to compile, a certain set of bundles (plug-ins) must be available at compile time. This set of bundles is known as a target platform. Follow the steps outlined in either of the following two sections to set up the target platform for Riena on RAP applications (based on Riena 3.0.0).

Setup

Download Eclipse IDE 3.7.x for your platform and start with a blank workspace.

Select "Riena Target Components" from here: . The result should look like this:

Activate the platform.

Done.

Next Step

Now you are ready to start writing Riena applications (ensure that in such a launch configuration the bundle org.eclipse.riena.ui.swt.rap is selected as required bundle). To get a feeling of the Riena framework, take a look at Riena's Example Applications and Code Templates. Make sure that you click on "Add Required bundles" before you start any of the examples that come with Riena.

At the moment Tycho can't handle the package import to javax.servlet, so we had to replace this with a dependencie. We accomplished this by patching the MANIFEST.MF from the bundle org.eclipse.communication.core after the checkout.
There may be other issues with the result of this build or the buildprocess itself, so be aware that this is not yet production ready.
